2-Day Workshop: Metal Workshop – Mold Making and Silver Casting

The Iron Age is primarily known for iron smelting in metallurgical terms. The processing of bronze, gold, and silver, which had already begun in the preceding Bronze Age, continued at a high level in the subsequent Iron Age, as evidenced by the jewelry finds from the time of the Celtic prince of Glauberg.
This two-day workshop teaches the prehistoric fundamentals of metal casting. On the first day, participants create a two-part clay mold based on their own ideas or inspired by Iron Age originals. On the second day, silver is melted in the Celtic forge on the grounds and poured into the clay molds. Using only the simplest of tools, participants create a unique object, such as a piece of jewelry, a keychain, or similar item. The cast object can then be filed and polished by hand, if desired.
